The mission of the Literacy Council of St. Petersburg is to provide free tutoring for adults who want to improve their literacy skills.

One in 10 adults in Pinellas County cannot read well enough to perform the everyday tasks many of us take for granted.

That means tasks such as reading to a child, filling out a job application, or understanding medical information on a prescription bottle. We aim to change that, one learner at a time.
The Literacy Council of St. Petersburg believes in teaching everyone to read and changing lives forever.
From adult basic education to studying for the GED, we pair adult learners with volunteer literacy tutors
for free, one-on-one tutoring. Just call us at: 727-521-1117 or email info@literacystpete.org.

Founded in 1968, the Literacy Council of St. Petersburg is a non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to helping adults in our community through innovative learning programs and one-on-one instruction.
